The Divine Genius’s Game Broadcasting Chapter 177

Episode 177 – The Good Guy, the Sword-wielding Guy, and the Genius (2)

Late afternoon, Genome's studio.

It would normally be a more familiar and comfortable place than home, but the owner, Genome, looked very anxious.

He began to pace around the studio, as if he could not sit still.

<If it was going to be like this, I should have just heard the answer yesterday.>

The manager who was watching the scene spoke through voice chat. Genome laughed in vain at this.

“Hey, don’t do that, I already regret it. I should have just hit Granzel right then and there.”

He said it playfully, but it was half sincere. Soon he let out a short sigh and spoke seriously.

“Ha, now that I think about it, maybe it was a bit hasty… … ”

<I thought about it for a long time, but it's not like I was being hasty.>

“That’s true, but the truth is that it’s out of my hands whether the crew will be formed or not. The real issue is what happens to our relationship.”

Genome wrinkled his nose and scratched the back of his head.

“As I said yesterday, it doesn’t matter if both of you reject me. What I’m worried about is that it will make things awkward between you.”

<Hey, is it really that bad?>

“Child, what is certain in a person’s heart? The only thing you can truly know is your own heart. I am confident that I can stay that way, but the two of you may be different.”

He took a short breath and opened his mouth as if talking to himself.

“I threw it away because it was worth a try.”

<Because the Fuzzy Day merger is guaranteed to get views.>

“Inma, we’re not doing this just for profit.”

<Then?>

“Beginner’s mind, beginner’s mind.”

Genome sat at his desk, arms folded. He smiled faintly as he reminisced about the old days.

“I remember when I first started streaming, I just played games I liked, had fun with a few viewers, and just had fun like that.”

He had his firsts too, like the first game he broadcasted, the first day viewers came to see him, the first time he uploaded a video to YouTube, etc.

But after I got an editor and a manager, and joined an MCN and developed a vested interest, I couldn't feel that way anymore.

With that success, innocence disappeared. Just enjoying broadcasting became impossible.

Eventually, that first time became a faded past, but it still remained vivid in my mind.

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to play like that anymore, but when I play with Kyungbok, it feels like I’ve gone back in time.”

However, the broadcast with Lee Kyung-bok allowed me to feel that joy, or rather, even greater than that.

'Because I don't have to worry.'

Lee Kyung-bok, the streamer Purple, was a genius. A genius of a kind never seen before.

When he called him 'the master of masters', it wasn't just an ad-lib, it was also a sincere statement.

Thanks to that, I felt less pressure when I was on a show with Lee Kyung-bok, and my excitement naturally rose like before.

<Somehow, I feel like it's not just you.>

"huh?"

<Hyung, don't you know that the ghost members have returned to the fan cafe?>

“Ghost member?”

Genie's eyes grew round.

Since I couldn't check all the posts that were uploaded to the fan cafe, I had to leave it up to the manager to filter them.

<Looking at the date of registration, it seems like I registered a long time ago. Like my brother said, I guess I felt the old tension coming out.>

“Oh, then… … ”

The return of early fans.

Genome realized that the recovery in viewership was not only due to the merger. But the joy did not last long.

<Brother, you're here.>

He turned at the manager's voice.

Lee Kyung-bok and Eclipse were coming, waving their hands.

“Oh! You’re earlier than scheduled! Why are you so earnest when we’re not even meeting outside?”

Genome greeted the two of them warmly, but he could sense that he was also nervous.

“No, it’s better to come early.”

“Yes.”

The two answered with awkward laughter.

The silence that flows within.

Eclipse glanced at Kyungbok Lee and then opened her mouth.

“Should I say something?”

“No, I will do it.”

Lee Kyung-bok took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind. From that atmosphere, Genome guessed the result and spoke.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. It’s really okay. Our relationship is still the same? Just make the broadcast fun from now on.”

He said it with a smile, but there was a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

“Ha, Purple. I’m really bad at this kind of thing.”

Eclipse turned around after seeing that expression. Just as Genome was about to panic, Lee Kyung-bok let out a low laugh.

“No, bro. Is it really okay for it to be like that? Ikle and I made a big decision together?”

"uh?"

At that question, Genome paused for a moment and then rolled his eyes.

Judging from the reactions of both people, the answer was one.

“Hey! No, why are you fishing when it’s not even a broadcast! Are you sure this isn’t a hidden camera? You, you idiot! Are you filming this? You’re going to record it and upload it to YouTube, right!?”

Genome questioned Lee Kyung-bok exaggeratedly. But the clown who had gone up did not come down.

Lee Kyung-bok and Eclipse also burst into laughter.

“Oh, the reaction is really good. Please take a look, Ikle. I was the one who suggested it.”

“I don’t think I have any talent for acting.”

“Don’t you think this is not chivalrous?”

The three of them laughed loudly and shook hands briefly.

“I will take good care of you in the future.”

"i look forward to."

“Hey, is there anything you want me to ask you? If you just do what you’ve been doing, everything will be fine.”

The three, satisfied with the formation of an official crew, quickly settled in. If they had simply wanted to make a notification, there would have been no need to gather together.

“Now the most important thing is who to fill the remaining positions.”

“In terms of position, they are bottom duo.”

If we were to participate in the Mystic League tournament, we would need to recruit two more members. After we have confirmed our team members, wouldn't practice be meaningful?

“Didn’t you say that Genome-nim had prepared something?”

“Yes, of course. Just leave it to me.”

Genome spoke in a more excited voice than usual, but Lee Kyung-bok raised his hand to calm him down.

“But wasn’t it hard when you took on Time Warfare alone? Wouldn’t it be better if we all looked for it together this time?”

Genome stung at the question. It was too accurate a point to deny.

“No, it was a bit sudden at the time so that’s why I did that. This time, there are members who had planned it out in advance.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes, you know that my agency is Convex, right? I already gave some warning to the talented kids in advance.”

The guy who had been explaining so confidently added with a look of dismay.

“Oh, don’t misunderstand. Normally, when you’re in the same company, there’s a lot of pulling and pulling to merge, but these guys don’t have any of that. They’re good at it and have good personalities.”

Just in case there was a misunderstanding between the two, Genome quickly explained. Fortunately, Eclipse immediately agreed.

“I can trust your discerning eye, Genome.”

But Lee Gyeong-bok was different.

He rolled his eyes and stroked his chin.

'There's definitely nothing to be anxious about… … '

Shingi didn't show much of a reaction to the decision to leave it to Genome.

But rather than just following the magic, there was a better way to do it.

Haven't you already experienced it in the voice pack DLC contract?

“That’s good, but I have been thinking about something with my friends.”

After forming the crew and deciding to participate in the competition, I had a meeting with Choi Byung-hoon and Park Joo-ho about related matters.

Naturally, there was also talk about supplementing team members.

“Are you thinking of something else?”

“Oh? What is it?”

When the two people showed interest, Lee Kyung-bok explained the content. As the explanation progressed, the two people's eyes opened wide.

“To that extent… … ?”

“No, wait. Is this okay?”

Eclipse was just surprised, but Genome's eyes lit up.

“Honestly, if it were anyone else, it would have been rejected right away. But since we, or rather you, are together, I think it might be possible.”

“Certainly… … If Purple is here, then that would be possible.”

At this, Lee Gyeong-bok smiled brightly.

“Then, let’s do it like this.”

* * *

That evening, broadcast time.

The chat window shook with the appearance of three people.

-The time for purge has come!

-Today is the Godple Master's turn, right? Right?

-Ikle and the rat guy's tier went up, so now it seems like only Fla and Diamond will come out

-Now the rank scores are a bit more consistent lol

-Zero-back bus ON!

-The bus stop is packed with people lol

-Which duo will succeed in today's punting!?

As the team members' tiers rose, expectations were high that the game would be more fun than before.

Genome laughed and clapped his hands at this.

“Okay, everyone calm down. Today, there’s some really big news, bigger than the main game.”

-There's something more important than becoming a master?!

-It's not even big news, what's the really big news? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You mean news related to Perzan?

-What the heck? Are you the king?

-Is something big coming? Is something big coming?

Viewers who were paying attention to those words soon guessed.

-Oh? Are you crazy smurf?

-Huh? Is that it?

-Who is participating in the competition?

-Want to participate in Purge Day?

-5252, that's an 'ama.ture' competition!

-An amateur team that has been winning ranked games for 5 days?!

– An amateur who is close to a professional, that is the 'perfect amateur' (nod)

-Ah haha anyway, I'm an amateur!

-Oh lol, did you steal all the mouse guy's comments genomes?

-Take it away? Genome Kick!

As the tournament season approached, it was easy to predict that the chat window would explode even more as Genome took a break.

But soon a confident smile appeared on Genome's lips.

“No, kids. You guys didn’t do that, did you? Why are you so poor in imagination? It’s not just big news, it’s big news.”

A question mark appears at the same time as that comment.

Genome cleared his throat with an even deeper smile.

“Ahem. Okay, as of today, I, Genome, Eclipse, and Purple are the three members of the Fuzzy Day Crew, and I hereby inform the viewers.”

It wasn't a very long speech.

But its ripple effect was by no means short-lived.

-to?

-Officially declaring the crew?

-WA! Fuzzy Day Crew!

-If this is a dream, don't wake me up! If this is a dream, don't wake me up!

-That's big! That's big! That's big!

-So is this a regular merger now?

-What's your favorite combination! What's your favorite combination! What's your favorite combination!

-The good guy, the guy with the knife, the bastard

-Is Genie just Genie? Lol

-I'm a legend because I saw this moment! I'm a legend because I saw this moment!

-It's regular purge day! It's regular purge day! It's regular purge day!

-Purge party! Purge party! Purge party!

-Wow lol this really gives me goosebumps

-Even if I die now, I still have regrets!

-Ah haha I have to watch the broadcast, but I'll be sad if I die haha

-Really lol I think I'll watch the show even if I become a ghost

Countless exclamations of joy filled the chat window.

Eclipse continued speaking with a satisfied voice.

“Our Purge Day Knights’ first battlefield will be the Mad Smurfs!”

As soon as the first debut stage was announced, the chat window became abuzz again.

-Oh lol, to Mr. Ikle, the crew is a knight order?

-How come the name of the battlefield is Crazy Smurf?

-I'm talking as a real person, but 'Crazy Smurf' appears, so f*ckㅋㅋㅋ

-This is so funny, seriously ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The official purge is crazy

-How much do you plan on cutting off? Lol!

-Cancel your participation, you rascal!

-Is the competition also a march of victories?

-Ah haha that's an invincible ticket

The viewers' enjoyment was doubled. Finally, Lee Kyung-bok stepped forward.

“I’m glad that everyone is happy. We decided to participate in the competition, but before that, we had to recruit the remaining two team members. So, our staff members put their heads together and… … ”

Lee Kyung-bok continued speaking, giving a subtle signal.

“We’ve decided to hold auditions for new interns!”

In line with that comment, Genome immediately displayed the data he had prepared.

The chat room was immediately filled with laughter.

-Hey lol what is this lol

-Koitswwww I'm serious about the conceptwww

-Why is the form so high quality!

-Oh lol, I think the Godple manager made this?

-Really lol It's the same format as translator recruitment

-5252, the manager is already leaving!

As soon as the viewers confirmed the content, the laughter grew even bigger.

-(A)family-like atmosphere

-No lol Don't put parentheses in it!

-Aren't you just going to use this?

-You give incentives? The base wage is so low, lol.

-Actually, that's the prize money for the competition, lol

-ㅋㅋㅋ That's a funny joke / … It's a joke, right?

-I can see the Naakin meme! I can see it!

-They use such abstract words to lure their employees and treat them like livestock? Is this a completely black company?

-But doesn't this kind of treatment seem surprisingly suitable for the bottom position?

-Pakshi! Want a taste of the bottom union?

Lee Kyung-bok felt proud of the viewers' reaction.

'It's a little funny, but… … '

This is the document that came out when I asked Park Joo-ho to prepare something that fit the black company concept. It contained his own experiences, just like the viewers' reactions.

But his preparations didn't end there.

“I think everyone is misunderstanding something. Mr. Ji, please go to the next page.”

“Old story!”

The genome immediately brought up the next chapter on the screen.

[<Welfare>]

There was only one sentence written on the document, despite its size.

And Lee Kyung-bok.

[100% victory guaranteed]

No unnecessary sentences were added.

-Yikesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The pervert is crazy lol

-Is this the 'perfect welfare system'? Is this the welfare system I've been seeing?

-Ah haha 100% victory is King Jung

-Really lol If I had this, I could honestly endure anything

-Wow lol I wonder what the hell he's talking about, but it's different when Godple does it?

-Common sense has improved!

-You proved it with a 5-day victory?

-Really lol I've experienced all the daily part-time jobs

-The people on the bus are day laborers, lol

If it had been someone else, it would have been treated as just a joke or a boast. However, if the person who wrote it was Purple, it had a different meaning.

“No, you guys? You didn’t forget the old man, did you? What’s the point of winning anyway?”

The chat window filled with 'ㅋㅋㅋ' at Genome's question.

-You're such an idiot!

-Oh lol, the upper is the truth!

-Ah, haha, I found out that the competition was a science competition.

-Science Fair, okay lol

-Upper is science, right?

-The scientific power of Purge Day is the best in the world!

-Is it just me who sees Godple already holding the trophy?

-Time travel has even been developed!

Even though I hadn't even applied to participate, the broadcast already had the feel of a celebration after winning.

Lee Gyeong-bok was satisfied with this and turned his attention to the sound of applause.

“Now, if you would like to join our Purge Day, please do not hesitate. We hope for the support of many people, and for fairness, all processes will be transparently disclosed.”

This was the real point.

The team member recruitment process was planned to be broadcast as content.

“We at Purge Day listen to the decisions of our employees as well as our shareholders. Your opinions are also reflected in the hiring of new interns.”

It was also content that allowed viewer participation.

-Are we shareholders of Purge Day?

-Are you saying that I was a secret shareholder?

-Hey! So you guys were part of a black company?

-Come to think of it, I encouraged you to work overtime, didn't I?

-I found out that the blackest one was Tsu.

-Is this the planning ability of a new crew? What about the crews I've seen?

-What the heck ㅋㅋㅋ You're really a broadcasting genius ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Become a legend before participating in the competition~

-Is this your usual purge day?

-If I pass this, I'll win the competition ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Really lol this is actually the finals

-Hey lol the finals are okay lol

-Who will be the lucky duo?!

-No;;; What if you really start puketting!

Who will take this seat?

The viewers' attention was more focused on the auditions than the competition.
